thunderbird freezes for a couple of seconds every couple of minutes
I have Thunderbird 60.4.0. When working with e-mails, the program will just hang for 3-10 seconds while doing tasks. It will do this when I'm trying to move messages between folders, opening a new message, typing in e-mail addresses, typing in the body of an e-mail, even clicking on the "About Thunderbird" under Help. I do have "Allow Windows Search to search messages" unchecked. What is going on and how can I get this lag to stop?

What is your anti-virus software?
It's the built-in anti-virus from Microsoft. I can't turn it off because this is a computer at work.
Try to start Windows in safe mode with networking enabled. - Win10 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode - Win8 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17076/windows-8-startup-settings-safe-mode - Win7 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17419/windows-7-advanced-startup-options-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7
Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode. - https://support.mozilla.org/kb/safe-mode
Does the problem go away?
In any case, you should probably talk to your corporate IT folks.
